Daughter of Life

Daughter of Life
Broke a piece from a Dream
Where,Why,How
The news reached the ears of the sky

Big wings heard the news
Long beaks heard it
Black tongues heard it
Sharp claws heard it

The piece was naked
Fragrance itself wore torn clothes 
Neither heart nor body
Had any shelter to provide

My piece was snatched from me
Both my hands were wounded
My cheeks were scratched
Lips were bleeding

My piece was gone
only the thought remained
The night of the sky
Like raven started to fly.
